◆ wild_compare()

int wild_compare	(	const char *	str,
		int	strlen,
		const char *	wildstr,
		int	wildlen,
		bool	str_is_pattern
	)

Performs wildcard matching, aka globbing, on the input string with the given wildcard pattern, using the standard SQL wildcard ('_', '' and '\') notation.

Deprecated:: This function is not charset-aware, and should not be used in new code.

Parameters

str	input which should be matched against pattern
strlen	length of str in bytes
wildstr	pattern with wildcards
wildlen	length of wildstr in bytes
str_is_pattern	if true the input string is considered to be a pattern, meaning that escape sequences in the input are processed as if they appeared in the pattern.

Returns: 0 if match, 1 otherwise

◆ wild_compare_full()

int wild_compare_full	(	const char *	str,
		int	strlen,
		const char *	wildstr,
		int	wildlen,
		bool	str_is_pattern,
		char	w_prefix,
		char	w_one,
		char	w_many
	)

Performs wildcard matching, aka globbing, on the input string with the given wildcard pattern, and the specified wildcard characters.

Note that when str_is_pattern is true, an escaped wildcard in the pattern will only match an escaped wildcard in the string, e.g the string "my_1" will not be matched by the pattern "my\\_1".

Deprecated:: This function is not charset-aware, and should not be used in new code.

Parameters

str	input which should be matched against pattern
strlen	length of str in bytes
wildstr	pattern with wildcards
wildlen	length of wildstr in bytes
str_is_pattern	if true the input string is considered to be a pattern, meaning that escape sequences in the input are processed as if they appeared in the pattern
w_one	wildcard character matching any single character
w_many	wildcard character matching 0 or more characters
w_prefix	escape character for the pattern

Returns: 0 if match, 1 otherwise
